Chapter 865: Chapter 856 Taking Medicine (6)

Today is Christmas Eve, a festival imbued with Western religious significance that, upon reaching our nation, has transformed into a shopping spree and lovers’ carnival.

Bo Yan and Xia Siyu both had scenes to shoot during the day, so the two of them agreed on a time to meet up, each holding back their emotions as they worked on their separate film sets.

Since it would take at least five hours for Bo Yan to arrive, he sent a message at 4 p.m. stating that he had finished filming for the day and was ready to head over. Xia Siyu calculated the time, continued to shoot seriously on set, and did not ask for leave to finish early.

Even at 6 p.m., when the film crew planned to dine together, she sat with them and ate just a few bites—really, just a few. Compared to her usual portion, this was quite “restrained.” The male lead found it odd and asked, “What’s wrong today, not feeling hungry?”

Xia Siyu replied with a look of misery, “I am still an actress, after all. I have to consider my image and try to slim down.”

The male lead was speechless. Since Xia Siyu joined the cast, although she did eat more than the average female star, she also exercised a lot. After a month on set, she might not have lost weight, but her figure definitely slimmed down; she looked great both in person and in still photos. And yet, she still wanted to diet?

After dinner and a short rest, on this Christmas Eve, Xia Siyu did not take leave, but since many boyfriends and husbands came to visit the set, the director had arranged an early departure after a meal and a meeting.

Wei Jingjing thought that Bo Yan would not come since Xia Siyu showed no intention of asking for leave throughout the day. During the meeting, she paid close attention, sitting upright on a small stool with a notebook in hand, joting down everything the director said.

Director Ji looked at the group of male actors whose minds were already wandering and then at Xia Siyu, expressing his admiration, “Look at this young lady, how earnest she is both in acting and attending meetings. You guys, on the other hand, are restless as if you have firecrackers tied to your butts, itching to fly miles away in a flash.”

When praised, Xia Siyu remained composed as if it had nothing to do with her. After the meeting concluded, the director waved his hand, “Okay, break!”

The supporting actor even asked, “Director, can I take tomorrow morning off? We’ve been filming for so many days without a rest. Let me sleep in a little tonight.”

His girlfriend had become a wife, and this time it was his newlywed sweetheart who came to visit. He definitely needed to make time for her.

The male lead also said, “Right, Director. Even though my girlfriend isn’t here, I plan to go out for drinks with the guys later. I’m afraid I’ll have a headache tomorrow morning. Maybe we can shoot in the afternoon instead.”

Director Ji was actually aware of the situation. After filming for over a month without a single day off, everyone deserved some relaxation on the holiday, whether it was a local festival or not.

He then looked at Xia Siyu sitting upright, “Look at this young lady, she doesn’t even complain about being tired. You guys, always trying to sneak off, don’t you feel ashamed?”

The crowd chuckled, and Xia Siyu maintained her solemn demeanor. The director couldn’t help teasing her, “Siyu, then come earlier tomorrow, and we’ll finish shooting your solo scenes.”

Confidently placing down her notebook, Xia Siyu asked, “How early? Is 2 p.m. alright?”

Bo had said he had an evening flight to catch and needed to rush back. By New Year’s, he would have two or three days off, and that’s when they would reunite.
